    The first book, *Spring Flowers…*, is my favorite period drama to date. The novel is filled with heartwarming and down-to-earth family stories, and the author's writing is very realistic and meticulous, making it feel like the author personally experienced that era. However, it's not without humor. This humor comes genuinely after reading a certain passage, not forced or contrived. The four children in the family each have their own personalities, and I especially love Grandma Liang. Reading the epilogue about her made me realize how difficult life was for people in that era. They not only had to hide from the Japanese invaders and bandits, but also endure natural disasters—it felt like the end of the world. It was so heartbreaking. I felt heartbroken that Grandpa Lin passed away so young, heartbroken that he couldn't grow old with Grandma and see her live the life she wanted. The author put a lot of effort into the writing, paying close attention to historical accuracy and the detailed descriptions of daily life. I really love this book! I couldn't help but recommend it to everyone. I also recommended a few other books I've read before, which were also very good.

    It's incredibly good! The male lead is unlike any other, and his mouth is hilarious. He's a social butterfly, always talking non-stop. He never suffers a loss, never works like a slave to his family, and his family never takes advantage of him. The male and female leads don't meddle in other people's business, living their own simple lives and chatting about gossip. His brothers are all married with children, but he's not. He works a regular job, just enough to feed himself, and doesn't earn extra to support his nieces and nephews. Once he gets married, he immediately separates from the family and lives his own life.

    [Already recommended!] No special abilities, no cheat codes. The first book features a female protagonist who is reborn, but her excellence after rebirth is not exaggerated. Her knowledge is all well-developed and verifiable, learned step by step. It's very enjoyable; it truly feels like witnessing the growth of an independent and successful woman. The second book features a female protagonist who transmigrates, and just like the title suggests, she confronts her entire family head-on and goes completely insane. It's also incredibly good. I highly, highly recommend both of these!!! [Masterpiece of Sparrow Food][Masterpiece of Sparrow Food][Masterpiece of Sparrow Food]

    The first book was simple yet engaging, with a plot that wasn't exaggerated. The second book focused mainly on the female lead's career and raising children; it was quite good, though the ending felt a bit rushed.
